The Eagles announce expansive Legacy box set collection



The Eagles will release an expansive, career-spanning box set collection, “Legacy”, on November 2.

The 12CD/DVD/Blu-ray package presents all seven of the California band’s studio albums, three live albums, and a compilation of singles and b-sides alongside a pair of concert films: 1994’s “Hell Freezes Over” on DVD and 2005’s “Farewell Tour: Live From Melbourne” on Blu-ray.

The group’s four US No. 1 albums – 1975’s “One Of These Night”, 1976’s “Hotel California”, 1979’s “The Long Run” and 2007’s “The Long Road Out Of Eden” – are accompanied by a “Singles And B-Sides” disc that delivers the Eagles’ debut 1972 single, “Take It Easy”, edits of “One Of These Nights” and “Take It To The Limit” and other hits as well as non-album tunes like “Get You In The Mood.”

A 15LP version of “Legacy” – which presents all of the music from the CD box without the video content – marks the vinyl debut of the 2000 “Millenium Concert” release and the long-awaited return to vinyl of 1980’s “Eagles Live” after being out-of-print for decades.

Both sets are housed in slipcases and accompanied by a 54-page hardbound book filled with rare and unseen photos, memorabilia, and artwork that encompasses the band’s entire career.

The Eagles recently made headlines when the 1976 collection, “Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975”, surpassed Michael Jackson’s 1982 smash, “Thriller”, to top the list of best-selling albums in music history.

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) announced the band’s package has been newly-certified at 38x Platinum, accounting for sales and streams of more than 38 million copies since its release.

The RIAA also revealed that The Eagles’ 1976 record, “Hotel California”, is now the third best-selling album of all time, certified 26x Platinum for sales and streams of more than 26 million copies.
